WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Jackson has not seen a day with below normal temperatures since the middle of October when we had that cold spell bring our first frost of the fall, over 30 days ago. Wednesday we could drop a couple degrees below normal as a cold front is going to swing through in the morning. Another more powerful front will come by Thursday and that could bring our first freeze of the season on Thursday or Friday night. Highs will be below normal as well from Wednesday through Saturday.

The humidity is high tonight and the winds will be calm until the early morning when the front shows up, that will also led to some fog tonight in our eastern viewing area. The winds will kick up sooner in our weather counties and that is why fog will be less likely west of Jackson.

Most of West Tennessee picked up between 0.25″-0.50″ of rain from last night’s front. The clouds stuck around in the morning but cleared out quickly this afternoon. We saw a nice day in the 70s but cooler weather is coming. The next front is on tap for Wednesday morning. That front looks mostly dry for us but a quick spitting shower cannot be ruled out.

THIS WEEK:

It has been a warm but breezy start to our work week in West Tennessee after a decent weekend. The record on Monday was 80° and we will fall just short but all of the region reached the mid 70s to kick off the week on Monday. The clouds returned Monday evening and stuck around until Tuesday morning. Rain showers and a few storms will also mixed in Monday night and lingering around into Tuesday morning with most of seeing close to 1/2″ of rain. A few storms mixed in but we didn’t see any severe weather again. Clouds moved out during the day on Tuesday bringing back mostly sunny skies for the majority of the work week. Some clouds will return briefly Wednesday morning along the next front.

Temperatures were warm Monday night due to the clouds and the winds. The winds came out of the south early on Tuesday and started out breezy before weakening as the day went on. The winds will pick back up again around sunrise Wednesday morning. Lows only reached the low 60s Monday night but will drop to around 50° Tuesday night. Monday’s front came in from the west instead of the north so it didn’t bring much of a temperature drop as highs still reached the low 70s on Tuesday. Tuesday night lows will fall down to the upper 40s but another front, this one dropping in from the north, is coming Wednesday morning.

Our second major cold spell of the fall is coming Wednesday morning. The front looks like a mostly dry front for us but will bring an increase in clouds during the middle of the day on Wednesday as the front passes. Highs on Wednesday will still reach the upper 50s to near 60° before the front racing by. The winds will sift from the west to the northwest and be breezy to windy at times as the front moves through. The winds will stay breezy out of the northwest all day on Thursday as well. Thursday highs will only reach the mid 50s but Thursday night lows are forecast to drop to the mid 30s. There is a chance for a freeze but the most likely time to drop to the low 30s from this cold spell looks to be Friday night into Saturday morning. Regardless if it is cold enough for a freeze, frost is looking likely for both Friday and Saturday mornings in West Tennessee.

THE WEEKEND:

The weekend is going to start out chilly near freezing on Saturday morning and highs will only reach the low 50s just like on Friday. The winds on Saturday will shift to the west during the day and back to the south on Sunday. That will start a warming trend Sunday afternoon but Saturday night into Sunday morning is still going to be cold with morning lows on Sunday in the mid 30s. Sunday night lows will only drop down to around 50° due to the southerly winds increasing the dew point as we head into next week. Skies will be mostly sunny on Saturday and partly cloudy on Sunday. The next chance for rain looks to be on Monday and Tuesday next week. The system again does not look like it is going to bring any severe weather our way but we will be keeping a close eye on it as that system gets a little closer to our region.
